The LXD – The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers I was put on to these guys by seeing them perform a routine on So You Think You Can Dance (Season 6 Week 6 Episode 20). I thought the performance was inventive, unique, entertaining and very skillfully done. Pretty much the opposite of 85% of the stuff you might see while watching America’s Best Dance Crew. So, like any other internet savvy person of today, I started searching. Outside of their appearances on television, they completed three seasons of a LXD web series. The series is broken into segments but tells an […]

Have You Seen the Skippy Snack Bar Commercial With the Elephants? I have no idea how people didn’t like this commercial…I mean, really…It’s SKIPPY! That’s what’s in the jar, the very same Skippy, that’s what’s in the bar! Honestly, I thought they caught a legitimate reggae vibe with this one. The song has been stuck in my head for years now. To this day I randomly up and start singing it. See for yourself. skippy A horde of hungry elephants scarfing down Skippy Snack Bars while enjoying a reggae concert during Spring Break. You can’t beat that. 😉 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xeg4p_skippy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM6dFRN-5TU […]

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked. “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice. “You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.” This post was originally for Tim Burton’s 2010 Alice in Wonderland movie. Since then, that movie has come and gone, and even spawned a sequel. And while I was excited about this one…I was ultimately disappointed by it. But that’s me. Below you will find a lot more information on Alice in Wonderland in general. […]

My Bloody Valentine 3D My Bloody Valentine 3D (Two-disc special edition) No Description It had dawned on me just the other day that I had never seen a 3D movie in the theatres before. I was still under the impression that 3D movies rendered everything a shade of red and blue and were pointless to see. I told a friend about this, and the next day she suggested that we go see My Bloody Valentine 3D. Mind you, I had no intention of ever seeing this movie as it looked like, from the previews, so much junk. My friend told […]

I was always a fan of Daria. As a angsty, somewhat intelligent, pessimistic teen, she really spoke to me. But this isn’t about that. It’s about that awesome theme song that kicked off each episode. The song was written and performed by a female grunge group called Splendora. They only ever dropped one album back in 1995, but the Amazon reviews for it all agree it was excellent. The theme song itself, You’re Standing on My Neck, does a good job of outlining the finer, more subtle points of the show itself. Lyrics to the Daria Theme Song Artist: Splendora […]

Update 09/04/09 This is an unfinished list of Movies that I think should be seen, at least once. It’s from 2008 and I’ll probably never finish it. There are just too many to list 😛 And I’m much, much too lazy;) so here it is, included for completeness sake. Enjoy:) You need to see these movies! If you haven’t seen at least 50% of the movies on this list then you are an uncultured savage! Here is the list in no particular order. Some of these movies are just guilty pleasures of mine (re: Bill and Ted), and some are […]

(NOTE: A lot of people have found this article while looking for the Hot Fuzz movie script – I tried to find it for you guys, but by all accounts, Edgar Wright scripts are notoriously hard to get a hold of. The best I could do is this transcript I found here: http://movie.subtitlr.com/subtitle/show/157100) Hot Fuzz is a police parody movie from the same people who brought us the zombie parody Shaun of the Dead. Those same people being Edgar Wright, who co-wrote and directed with Simon Pegg, who co-wrote and starred. Since I’m such a big fan of both Shaun […]

A Scanner Darkly A Scanner Darkly is a movie based on the novel of the same name, by Philip K. Dick. I have never read the novel (or anything by Philip for that matter), but being a fan of science fiction and fantasy, I know that this author’s name rings bells in the science fiction community (think Asimov, Bear, Clark, etc.). I also know that many of his novels and/or short stories have gone on to make or inspire many popular movies such as: Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report to name a few. So I admit that I […]
